last member having index mechanism at tached to it as will be hereinafter described.

The inner end of the shaft 5 finds a sliding long slots 10 in the sleeve 7 to permit a slidingmovementof the latter in relation to the former. The inner pin 9- is formed with a circular bando r collar 11 fixed thereto and adapted to encircle the sleeve 7 on which it slides. At one side the block 3 is provided with an annular extension 3" having an inturned. annular flange extending therefrom, as shown at 3. A guide block' 12 having a cylindrical hub portion -12',-exten'ding along the sleeve 7 and pinned thereto,'is provided and so positioned on the sleeve as to form a proper stop to limit the inward movement of the collar 11 carried by pin 9'. from shaft '5. The sleeve is formed at its opposite end with a small upturned flange 7*. A coiled spring1'3 surrounds the portion of the sleeve extendingbetween the'end flange 7 and the encirclingcollar 11' above referred to. .A,second1 guiding block 14 (see Fig. '14) somewhat similar to the first mentioned -block.l2 butprovided with'transverse roller arms. .of the H-shaped portions, is pinned directly tothe shaft at a suitable point- -along its length. A pair of inclined fingers LS-aresupported in the two guide blocks 12 at their inner extremities with notched ends 15? adapted to engage. with the intur-ned At the opposite ends the fingers 1 5 are-formed with inwardly curvedportions 15" guided along the inner sides of the roller pins 14". With the parts in the-position showdin Fig. 12,

the inclined fingers 15 frictionally engage by means of their. notched ends 15, the flange 3. of block 3 and hence there can be no ro- "tation of the shaft 5 or the disk 8 carried y at the extreme right hand end of the sleeve fingers 16lare carried on the disk 8 and are v -"7. "The inclined fingers lfi have a fulcrum bearing along the hub portion of theguide block .12. k pair of spring pressed pivoted intended to cooperate with parts of a clutch and timing mechanism. hereinafter to be de scribed. The position however. of these fingers is set through theoperation of the mechanism justdescribed and it is accomplished by imparting to the blocker dis-h 8 a' partial rotation. The rotation of disk 8 is attained by manipulating the knurled finger wheel 6.. Before the wheel 6 can b turned itis first necessary to draw the Shaft 5 in the direction of the arrov'w at indicated in Fig. 2. This is done by pulling the knurled finger wheel 6 away from the carriage. frame. As the shaft 5 moves it carries with it the guide block l t and as the rollerpass down the curved ends 15" 15 the latter-are loosened and their inner ends 15 released from frictional engagement withthe flange 3 of-block 3*; The shaft 5 cannowbe turned in its bearing-andbecause of the piriandslot connection with it the sleeve 7 will'also' beturned, carryingthe block 8. As -soon as the' 'knurled finger wheel 6 is released the shaft 5'will be drawn pins 14" of the fingers inwardly in a direction opposite to that shown by the arrow in Fig.2, by means of;

the coiled spring 13 which was previously compressed between the flange 7 'and collar 11. The parts willagain assume their normal. position with the fingers 15 locked to the hlOCk 3; i

and controlled by the operating-'device at theright side of thecarriage framel', it will .be seen that theconstructio'n and arrangement of these parts sucHas will enable them. to cooperate readily withl'th e several parts already dscribed:

. A central shaft oi rod-$ provided, having a bearing atitsinnerendin the end of the tubular sleeve 7; above-referred to. Near its outer end the shaft-16, is formed with a squared portion 16 passing through a circw la-r bushing 17 the carriage frame. 1. A knurled finger wheel 18 is non-rotatably carried on the end of the-sl'laft projecting beyondtheframe 1 and being retained in place by a threaded nut 19.. Just inside the frame 1 a slotted segment-20. see- Fig. 8 is carried on the squared portion 1650f the rod 16 having an integral -a-rn1'20 with a squared openingthegein corresponding ex-.

actlv in size and shape with'the sguared shaft portion 16'; An end ring 21 is'supf ported from the shaft 16 by a centrally perforated plate 21*and has formed thereon an ear 21" with a pin 22 extending therefrom adapted to engage'in the slotted portion of segment 20. At'its lnn'er side the ring 21 is formed with an intlir flange "2 li the purpose of which will be hereinafter described.

Near the inner end of the shaft 16 a diskshaped member '23 is pinned thereon and is provided with a transverse bar 2* secured to its left side terminatingin a pair f op- .tail pieces 31 extending cumference of the fixed clutch members 23 by means of screws are a pair of outwardly flaring pointed teeth 26, 26. Loosely mounted. on the shaft 16 and held normally in con tact with the right hand face of the fixed clutch member 23 is a movable clutch member 27 comprising a cylindrical portion having a tubular extension 28 integral therewith. Pivotally mounted on diametrically opposite flattened portions of the movable clutch member 27 (see Fig. 5) are a pair of members 29 comprising teeth 30 adapted to extend beyond one face of the cylindrical portion of member 27 in the path of the teeth 26 and also provided with upturned beyond the opposite face of the cylindrical portion 27 in position to contact with stop members 32, hereinafter to be referred to. The normal position of the pivoted members 29 is maintained by means of pins 32. and springs 33 clearly shown in Figs. 4 and Adjacent to the movable clutch member 27 is a cylindrical block 34 supported at its center on the shaft 16 and having feathered key connection at its circumference with the fixed cylindrical casing 2. The tubular. extension 28 of the movable clutch member 27 is proided with a pair of exterior helical ribs 28* and the adjacent face of the block 34 is formed with a correspondingly shaped recess having interior helical grooves in which the ribs 28 are adapted to engage. The block 34 is provided at one side with a cupshaped flange 35 and at its other side with an annular flange 36 and recess 37. The stop pins 32' project from one side of the block 34 in position to he engaged by the tail pieces 31 of the members 29 on movable clutch 27.

A tubular sleeve 38 is rigidly carried at the right hand side of block 34 and extends therefrom concentricallv disposed about the shaft 16. The sleeve 38 has a sliding hearing with a central hub portion 39 of a skele ton'block member 40. This skeleton block 40 is of a general cylindrical conformation having an enlarged head portion 41 at its right hand end and fastened bv screws to the outer cylindrical casing which carries the platen roller. The block is formed with slots 40 and 40 running longitudinally throughout its length and bisecting each other along the central axis of the block. Two squared hub portions 42 and 39 respectively. spac d apart are provided. be ing centrallv bored for the passage of the shaft 16 therethrough. A coiled spring 43 encircles a portion of the shaft 16. having one end lvaring against the right hand end of the tubular sleeve extension 36 and the. opposite end hearing against the inner end of the squared huh portion 42 of block 40. A pair of levers 44 are mounted in the horitheir ends fulcrumed on the squared hub portion 42 and formed with recessed end members 44 adapted to engage the depending flange 21 of ring 21. lhe opposite ends of the lovers 44 are tapered as shown at 44 and are adapted to be acted upon by a cam' block 45 pinned to the sleeve 38 and sliding therewith in the horizontal slot of the skeleton block 40. A second pair of levers 46 are mounted in the vertical slots of the block 40 having notched end portions engaging the intnrned flange 36 of block 34. These levers are fulcrumed at 47 to small flat projecting lips 48 of the block 40. At their opposite ends the levers 46 are formed with outwardly curved extremities adapted to contact against small roller pins 49 carried in small blocks set acros the vertical slot of the block 40.

A coiled spring 50 encircles the sleeve or hub of the finger wheel 18. having one of its ends fixed in the carriage frame 1 and its other clamped around a projection or lu-g 50 on the sleeve. The purpose of this spring is to return the parts to normal position as soon as the finger wheel 18 has been turned and released. A pivoted catch or detent 51 is carried on the end of frame 1 adapted to engage when in operative position. the top of lug 50 to hold the wheel 18 and shaft 16 against rotation when the several clutch members with the cylindrical 'casing are in neutral position. \Vhen such is the case, the platen roller P can be turned freely forward or backward by means of av small knurled finger wheel 52 mounted on a stub shaft 53 located in a supplemental frame at the rear and at one side of the carriage frame. The shaft 53 has a slight sliding movement in its bearings and carries near its inner end a conical friction member 54 adapted to mesh with a similar friction conical member 55. carried on an idler shaft 56 on which is also nop-rotatably carried a friction driving roller 57. having contactwith the outer surface of the platen roll 1. A small leaf spring 56 tends to keep the shaft 53 in a fixed position with the member 54 normally inoperative or away from contact with the member 55. When it is desired to turn the platen roll by means of the knurled finger wheel .32. the shaft is pulled outwardly in the direction of the arrow and temporarily fixed in that position by means of a pivoted catch 59. which engages a slot 60 on the shaft 53. Any turning of tinger wheel 52 will be directly transmitted to the platen roll l.

The knurled finger wheel 6 has extending therefrom a finger or pointer 61 adapted to be moved across a line gage 6; lying just above the platen roller l and conforming to the curvature of its surface. A supplemental line gage 63 is attached to one of the usual spring clips 64 by which the paper is held against the platen roll.

The operation of the device is as follows: When it is desired to set the mechanism so as to advance the work paper, a given number of line spaces, or a given portion of a line space, the amount of throw which it is in tended to give the platen roll P is set by pulling the knurled Wheel 6 out in the direction of the arrow and turning it until the pointer 61 has registered with the proper index number on the gage piece 62. What actually takes place when this is done is the adjustment of fingers 16 on block 8 circumferentially in"relation to the teeth 25 carried on the inner clutch member 23. The result is obtained by moving shaft 5 in the direction of the arrow (1, Fig. 2 carrying with it the guide block 14 releasing the fingers 15; so as to permit the turning or partial rotation of shaft 5, sleeve 7 and block 8 carried thereon. After the degree of movement of the line spacer has once been set it is only necessary to turn the knob or finger wheel 18 until the platen roll has been advanced the predetermined amount and release the finger wheel whereupon the parts will be quickly and automatically returned to position. The cycle of operations which is attendant upon the partial rotation of shaft 16 through Wheel 18 is briefly; the movement of shaft 16 causes clutch member 23 to rotate in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 6) and through the engagement of its teeth 26 with the teeth 30 of the pivoted members 29 results in a corresponding movement of the clutch member 27. As 23 and 27 rotate in unison the block 34 is displaced longitudinally due to the helical worm thread 28. As the block 34 moves to the right the sleeve 38 carrying guide block 45 also moves in the same direction, the skeleton block does not move with the result that lever fingers 44 are clamped to ring 21 and fingers 46 are re leased from flange 36. At this time the slotted segment 20 engages pin 22 and turns ring 21, which in turn has the platen roller clamped to it by the fingers 44. As soon as the tail pieces 31 of the member 29 come in contact with stop 32, the teeth 30 and teeth 26 become disengaged whereupon clutch member 27 ceases to rotate but the other clutch member 23 continues its movement until the teeth 25 have passed through a slot in the first finger 16 and have engaged a portion of the second finger 16 with which they cooperate to swing the said "nger 16 out of engagement with the collar 35 of block 34. The instant this occurs springs 43 and 50 restore the parts to normal position and the operation may be repeated as may times as desired, without changing the line spacing adjustment at the end.

Before the co-acting clutch members 23 and 27 have been moved sufliciently to have effected any tripping action of the several fingers carried thereon and while the block 34 and sleeve 38 have moved only to cause the fingers 44 and 46 t clamped relation to the respect with which they engage,wher. are in this so-called neutral posi dctent 51 is thrown over the lug I the wheel 18 becomes temporar ly against rotation, and the platen roiier easily moved in either direction by n lation of knurled Wheel 52.

Instead of having a finger wHeel 6 at the outer end of shaft 5 so arranged that the two must be pulled outwardly and then turned in order to set the adjustment of the inner clutch members, an arrangement is pro' by which the same result may be obt' by simply turning two members in um without .the necessity of the outward puiiin action before described. In Fig. 18 an arrangement is illustrated by which the inner clutch members can be properly adjusted turning two members located at the left hand end of the platen roller. As here shown the rod 5 performs the same func tions as rod 5, shown in the form illustrated in Fig. 2, but it is operated in a different manner. At its outer end an upright arm 17* is pinned thereto and carries at its upper end a line marker 18' extending across to move over the line index plate. An extension 20 on arm 17 provides a suitable finger hold for rotating the member 17. A sleeve 6 fits over the shaft 5 and has keyed thereon a finger wheel 7 by which it is adapted to be turned. A worm thread 8' is provided on the outer surface of the sleeve (3 and is adapted to be engaged by an in-- tcriorly formed thread in a block 3 fixed to the frame. Flat lateral extensions 9, 9' are attached to block 3 and form guides for a block 14", which is adapted to slide laterally on shaft 5. The block 14" is constructed in a similar manner and performs the same functions as block 14, shown. in Fig. 1. Rollers 14- are carried thereon to press on the inclined fingers 15". The block 14" is moved by two small projections 19' at the end of sleeve 6. A coiled spring 13 similar to that in Fig. 1 is provided, having one and bearing against block 14 and the other against a. block 12 corresponding to block 12 of the other form.

It will be seen that the amount of circumferential displacement of the platen roller is determined by turning the member 17 by finger piece 20 until extension 18 has registeredwith the proper marking on the line spacing index; thus block 12' with its parts will be properly set, then finger wheel 7 is turned moving sleeve 6, advancing it to the right by reason of the worm thread 8' in fixed block 3. This results in guide block 14-" moving to the right and locking through the fingers 15", the parts exactly as is done par when fingers 15 of Fig. 1 are compressed.

are arranged 'at one side of Fig. 9 shows a modified form of the invention in which all the operating devices the carriage frame. Here many of the parts are identical with those already described and to avoid repetition they will not be described in detail.

A central shaft carrying on its end a knurled finger wheel 6t) is mounted in the frame and extends into the cylindrical casing from the right hand end. At its inner end, the shaft ()5 carries a guide block 14' operating fingers 15 similar in construction and operation to the parts M and 15, formerly described. A sleeve member 67 surrounds the shaft (36 and the shaft 16 of the principal form carrying a similar clutch member at its inner end. Fixed to the outer end of sleeve liT is a worm wheel (38 adapted to be driven by a second worm wheel (38", the latter being actuated by a linger lever (it).

Surrounding sleeve 67 is a second sleeve 70 having a flanged collar 71 pinned thereto near its end. just beyond the frame 1. The sleeve 70 is formed with two slots 90 each representing a quarter of the outer area and arranged at suitable points on opposite sides of the sleeve. Two sections or inserts 91 corresponding in contour to the curved slots are provided and are of slightly less length than the slots 90. The inserts 91 have their outer ends flush with the flanged collar 71 but are cut oil at their inner ends to allow free movement'of sleeve 70 baclc and forth. .\n operating segment similar to the one shown in Fig. 8 only with a round hole fits over sleeve TO and is fastened by screws extending through the sections 91 into the inner sleeve 67. just inside of the frame 1 at 93. The inner end of sleeve 70 has loosely carried on it a flange 72 fitted between a fixed collar and a threaded nut 91. Extensions on the flange 72 carry small blocks 7; provided with rollers 73 adapted to cooperate with the double cam surfaces of a pair of fingers T-l. horizontally disposed in openings in the llange end extensions TZ. By this construction the flanged extensions 72 are swiveled on the sleeve 70. which permits of independent rotary movement of the member 72 when the curved segment is operated.

\Vheel 66 is provided with an index linger T registering with a suitable curved line gage n; carried on the frame 1 ii puslr ing the linger wheel (at inwardly and turir ing the index pointer 75 in relation to the gage 7c the same result exactly is obtained a is accomplished by the principal form by the manipulation and :uljustmcnl of knurled wheel ll. Movement of the lira talever (ill outwardly in the direction of the arrow effects a partial rotation of the sleeve (31'. and the resultant sequence of operations corremnnuliirfl' to a partial rotation of linger ends 74. thereby releasing the clamping action ol' the tmgers ends 7430 as to place the parts in the same neutral position, previously referred to in order that the platen roller P can be moved forward or backward independently 3 ger (39.
